The few hundred that sing in the East & the few hundred that sing in the North will think the atmosphere is good.

In all honestly the atmosphere (apart from away end) is absolutely shocking. The lack of songs is embarrassing.

I would expect Oxford or Swindon have more songs that you lot.

Funny, I must have been hallucinating yesterday then. Could have sworn I saw and heard all sides of the stadium and the majority of our supporters joining in with the chants and clapping. And as I said before, who gives a toss what the songs are as long as we are loud.

RG30 Would be nice to drop this "Number 13 - Reading fans everywhere" bullshit, served a purpose a few years ago, now it's just an embarssment

Your the type of fan that doesent want to support your team you just want to watch football and its ridiculous the whole reason people go to watch football should be to watch good football and to SUPPORT YOUR TEAM!! the support against pompey was really good and nearly got the team going and the players did not perform.However when the support was just as good against liverpool the players delivered its just aginst pompey the did not!

END RANT

What? So you're saying the effectiveness of an individual supporter depends on whether the announcer has said before the match "Number 13 - Reading fans everywhere" or not?

What exactly are you ranting about?

How about a bit of PigBag before the game that would really get the crowd going

I'm saying that it shouldent make a difference whether the announcer reads that out or not,It made the supporters feel more part of the club.I was saying that basiclly it shouldent annoy you so much that it is number 13.Thats the typical reading fan on here with people complaining that it makes us laughable,that shouldent make a differnece the difference should be made in the support

Don Finch Make sure you boo number 13 when it's read out by Peter Plum the announcer, it's catching on round us - was met a with a chorus of boos yesterday.

Was that to try and motivate us?

Then why don't you bloody sing then! Quit having a go and join in.

West stand = the prawn sandwich eaters

And if you ever went to away games you'd notice that not many home fans are particular loud either - with the exception of the likes of Pompey (Fulham, Man U, West Ham, Arsenal to name a few, plus Tottenham weren't that loud at the weekend).

i thought the atmosphere was good in parts but towards the end the silence was deafing! It was like a library!

I love sitting at the top of Y24. Plenty of atmosphere.

It irritates the hell out of me when y4/25/26 are all going for it, and then the rest of the east, north, west and south are sat in silence.

At least the NE corner gets going as well.

It would be nice to see some more of the fans get going now and again, but I agree, we need more singable songs.

Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed I'm a believer being played a lot - and the fans responding to it?

I sense another attempt at getting a club song going.

Considering we have NO original songs we do well enough IMO.
We have no history thats why we have no chants. People are laughed at for suggesting new ones. Just be creative, if its good people will sing it, if its shite then it won't be heard again. Stop whining about the support and be productive.
